FAQ
What age are construction sets suitable for?
Our construction sets range starts from around 3 years with simpler building and tool sets, through to more complex chain reaction and engineering kits for children aged 6 and upwards. The Djeco Zig & Go sets and BRIO Builder range are popular with children aged 5 and upwards, while the 4M Mini Brick Architect is designed for children aged 8 and upwards. Always check individual product age guidance before purchasing.
What are Djeco Zig & Go sets?
Zig & Go is a Djeco range of chain reaction construction sets, where children build elaborate sequences of dominoes, ramps, levers and mechanisms that trigger each other in sequence when set off. The sets range from starter sets with 28 pieces to larger sets with over 50 pieces, and can be combined together to create increasingly complex and impressive chain reactions.
Are construction sets good for development?
Construction sets are excellent for development across a wide range of skills. They build spatial awareness, fine motor skills, problem solving and logical thinking, while encouraging creativity, patience and perseverance. Engineering-style sets like Zig & Go and BRIO Builder also introduce children to basic principles of physics and mechanics in a hands-on and genuinely exciting way.
Do construction sets make good gifts?
Construction sets make brilliant gifts for children who love building, making and problem solving. A Djeco Zig & Go set makes a particularly impressive and exciting gift, while a BRIO Builder kit provides a more structured making experience. Construction sets are popular for birthdays and Christmas and tend to be toys that children return to again and again over many years.
